Gravel and stone delivery in Hoover, AL
Revised October 2026
Driveways, parking pads, drainage, base under concrete or pavers. Delivered to Bluff Park, Riverchase, Greystone and the rest of Hoover.
Stone orders in Hoover are driveways, parking pads and drainage. A driveway that has gone soft needs crusher run first, packed, and #57 on top. Chert is the cheap one-layer option on a long rural drive. For a French drain or under a slab it is #57. Say what the stone is for on the quote form and the right one gets sent. Stone is heavy, so a loaded truck needs firm ground around Bluff Park too.
Gravel and stone jobs in Hoover
Hoover spans the crest and south face of Shades Mountain (Bluff Park, Shades Crest) down into the Cahaba River valley at Riverchase and Inverness. Mountain lots are sandstone with thin, rocky soil and steep grades; valley lots are red clay and shale with creek bottoms along the Cahaba, Patton Creek and Buck Creek that hold water after storms. Greystone and the Highway 280 corridor sit on rolling ridges with heavy clay, and Ross Bridge and Trace Crossings were built on cleared, mass-graded ground where settling and erosion gullies are common.
What it is for
- A new gravel driveway or parking pad
- Topping up a driveway that has gone to mud
- Base under concrete, pavers or a shed
- French drains and drainage trenches
Stone does not fix a soft driveway by itself. If the ground underneath is mud, it needs to be dug out and built up with crusher run before the top stone goes on.
Getting the truck in
Many subdivisions are HOA-governed or gated (Greystone, Ross Bridge, Lake Cyrus), so coordinate gate access and street parking; Bluff Park driveways are steep and winding with limited truck turnaround.
Questions people ask
Crusher run or #57 for a driveway?
Both, in that order. Crusher run packs into a hard base, usually four inches of it. #57 goes on top, two to three inches, because it stays loose and sheds water. Chert is a cheaper one-layer option for a farm or back drive.
How many tons of gravel do I need?
One ton of crushed stone covers about 80 to 100 square feet at two inches deep. A 12 by 50 foot driveway at four inches of crusher run is about 10 to 12 tons, which is most of a tandem load.
Can a dump truck reach my spot in Hoover?
Many subdivisions are HOA-governed or gated (Greystone, Ross Bridge, Lake Cyrus), so coordinate gate access and street parking; Bluff Park driveways are steep and winding with limited truck turnaround. Say what the access is like on the quote form and the price will allow for the right size truck.
